Attack Surface Intelligence
Uncover blind spots. Prioritize exposures attackers are targeting.
See what attackers see
Most organizations have an incomplete view of what they have exposed to the internet. Mergers and acquisitions, cloud expansion, and distributed ownership creates blind spots, leading to forgotten infrastructure, shadow IT, and unmanaged assets that attackers can exploit.
Attack Surface Intelligence discovers these unknown assets and prioritizes exposures by exploitability and active threat activity, so your team knows what to fix first.
Automatically uncover blind spots and prioritize attacker-targeted exposures.
Discover your external attack surface
Discover your external attack surface
Most organizations have an incomplete view of assets exposed to the internet. Attack Surface Intelligence leverages 10+ years of current and historical DNS, WHOIS, and SSL/TLS certificate data to continuously discover forgotten assets, shadow IT, subsidiaries, and third-party infrastructure tied to your organization, giving you the visibility needed to secure your blind spots.
Prioritize the risks that matter
Prioritize the risks that matter
Not every vulnerability requires immediate attention. Attack Surface Intelligence helps you focus remediation efforts on the exposures that pose material risk to your organization based on exploitability and active threat activity. Intelligence-driven exposure scoring, context, and remediation guidance provides your team with a prioritized view of what threats matter most and how to address them.
Reduce your vulnerable attack surface
Reduce your vulnerable attack surface
Understanding what you have exposed to the internet is the first step. Attack Surface Intelligence provides the ongoing visibility and guidance needed to reduce public-facing configuration errors and unnecessary exposures. Track progress over time as your exposure footprint becomes smaller and more defensible.
Prevent security weaknesses from M&A
Prevent security weaknesses from M&A
Acquisitions bring unknown infrastructure, technical debt, and security gaps into your environment. Attack Surface Intelligence reveals these blind spots by identifying exposed assets, misconfigurations, and vulnerabilities in acquired companies, enabling you to remediate risk and monitor for new threats.
Enforce security standards across your organization
Enforce security standards across your organization
Security policies only work if they're consistently applied. Attack Surface Intelligence provides improved visibility into your external presence, surfacing expired certificates, weak encryption, unauthorized cloud services, and non-compliant configurations. This enables you to identify assets that fall outside your security standards and take action.

FAQ
Your questions, answered.
What business outcomes can I expect from Attack Surface Intelligence?
Organizations using Attack Surface Intelligence have seen a 29% improvement in asset visibility and a 51% reduction in vulnerable attack surface within the first year1. You'll gain visibility into previously unknown assets (shadow IT, forgotten infrastructure, acquired companies), enabling your team to systematically reduce exposures rather than constantly reacting to the latest vulnerability. This can translate to fewer emergency patching cycles, reduced breach risk from unknown assets, and clear metrics to demonstrate security improvement to leadership.
What makes Attack Surface Intelligence different from other EASM solutions?
Two key differentiators: depth of discovery and actionable context. Attack Surface Intelligence is powered by 10+ years of historical DNS, WHOIS, and SSL/TLS certificate data – enabling discovery of assets other tools can miss, including long-dormant infrastructure and complex subsidiary relationships. Second, ASI provides the context security teams actually need to prioritize and remediate, not just lists of findings. Integration with Recorded Future’s Intelligence Graph adds threat intelligence context that helps teams focus on exposures adversaries are actively targeting.
How quickly can we see value after implementation?
Many organizations discover previously unknown assets within the first scan. Initial setup is used to define your organization's digital footprint (which can be easily updated), after which continuous monitoring begins. Teams often find critical exposures in acquired companies or forgotten infrastructure within the first week, enabling rapid risk reduction before major remediation initiatives even begin.
How does Attack Surface Intelligence discover assets that other tools miss?
Attack Surface Intelligence uses multiple discovery methods combined with historical internet data to find assets tied to your organization. This includes analyzing DNS patterns, SSL certificate relationships, WHOIS records, and more. This historical view reveals assets like forgotten dev environments, recently divested subsidiaries still tied to your infrastructure, or shadow IT from business units operating independently.
Can Attack Surface Intelligence help with M&A security assessments?
Yes. When acquiring a company, you can inherit their security posture, including unknown infrastructure, technical debt, and existing vulnerabilities. Attack Surface Intelligence reveals what you're inheriting before integration begins by identifying all assets tied to the target company, surfacing critical exposures, and providing a baseline security assessment. Post-integration, continuous monitoring ensures newly discovered assets from the acquired company are tracked and secured.
How is Attack Surface Intelligence different from a vulnerability scanner?
Attack Surface Intelligence doesn't replace vulnerability scanners, it solves a different problem. Vulnerability scanners are excellent at finding issues in known assets, but they can't scan what they don't know exists. Attack Surface Intelligence helps discover the unknown and forgotten assets in your environment (shadow IT, cloud sprawl, acquired infrastructure) that never make it into your scanner's scope. Once Attack Surface Intelligence discovers these assets, you can add them to your vulnerability scanner. Additionally, ASI provides an attacker's outside-in perspective, showing what's visible and exploitable from the internet, context that authenticated internal scans can't provide.
How does Attack Surface Intelligence fit into our Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) program?
Attack Surface Intelligence primarily handles the scoping, discovery, and prioritization stages of CTEM—continuously finding assets across your external attack surface and scoring exposures by exploitability and business impact. This helps to provide the scoped, prioritized foundation your team needs for validation and remediation.
Can Attack Surface Intelligence integrate with our existing tools and workflows?
Yes. Connect ASI to your existing security stack through native integrations or our API. Push findings directly into ticketing systems, SOAR platforms, and SIEM solutions to automate workflows. You can also export detailed reports with remediation guidance that integrate into your existing vulnerability management processes. Many teams incorporate data from ASI into their current workflows rather than changing how they operate.
What if we don't have dedicated attack surface management resources?
You don't need a dedicated Attack Surface Management team. Most organizations using Attack Surface Intelligence have an existing vulnerability management, security operations, or IT security team that takes ownership of ASI. The Platform is designed to surface the highest-priority issues with clear remediation guidance, your team focuses on addressing exposures rather than learning complex new workflows. Exposure scoring and prioritization ensure teams aren't overwhelmed with noise.
